They all sing two songs from this week onwards. I do think the right five acts are left and I can't really pick a winner. I like all of them. I think Marcus needs the win more than the others. Little Mix and the girls will all get picked up.


Male winners don't tend to do very well though. Matt Cardle's album sales are low. Joe McElderry, Leon Jackson and Steve Brookstein all flopped and Shayne Ward was dropped eventually too.

Yes, I said that last week.....


I said it again this week.....


And will probably say it next week too!


I will continue to say it until they are voted out, because I think they are the best act & I want them to win.


P.S. Janet deserved to go.

PMs

- as a session singer


- which means the in-fighting "I'm the best singer you little bich?!" is about to begin


- ssems the voting public this year hated the obvious attempts to influence them (mischa b) and voted against what they saw as Cowell and co.'s wishes so I wouldn't bet agin her.


Which leaves Marcus to be the new Joe McElderry(?) and be waiting tables somewhere near you soon...

You reckon? I'd rate it as one of her less good performances (and that pre-song rap was cringe-worthy). She's quite average with a dreary ballad. That attempt at Whitney Houston a few weeks back was sleep inducing.


Give her something with an R&B kick that she can belt out and it's a different story. Her version of 'Proud Mary' a few weeks ago was pretty damn good and she's the only person I've heard that's even come close to Adele with 'Rollin in the Deep'.

She'll be signed up and out with her first album before the end of next year. It'll be promoted properly and will do well. Not quite what happens to a session singer is it? She's much better than that and you have to remember how young she still is.


Little Mix are overall better singers than the Spice Girls (Mel C being the only person who had a half decent voice). Everything will depend on how they are managed and how good the songs are that are written for them. But again, I fancy their chances. JLS were often off key with their xfactor performances but have done very well for themselves since.


Agree on Marcus following Joe McElderry, but think he will have a great future in musical theatre. Matt Cardle's Biography *cough* has already made it to the shelves of poundland.....looking ominous for him too.

JLS got lucky when Cowell pulled out on agreement to sign them and they were picked up by Epic. Otherwise they would have been churning out Westlife-style dross and on the scrapheap by now.

I totally agree with that Loz. Even Joe McElderry has managed to sell twice as many copies of his Christmas Covers Album (signed to another label) than he did copies of his Cowell winner's album (before being dumped by Syco of course). Leona Lewis has been made completely boring as well.


In many ways it's better not to win the xfactor.


As an aside, Micha B is in talks with Missy Elliot for a collaboration and Kelly Rowland is keeping her hand in too. Can't see Cowell letting her go to any other label but his own though.

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
